Abstract

Studies on meta-affect in problem solving tried to build similar structures among affective elements as the structure of cognition and meta-cognition. But it's still need to be more systematic as meta-cognition. This study defines meta-affect as the connection of cognitive elements and affective elements which always include at least one affective element. We logically categorized types of meta-affect in problem solving, and then observed and analyzed the real cases for each type of meta-affect based on the logical categories. We found the operating mechanism of meta-affect in mathematical problem solving. In particular, we found the characteristics of meta function which operates in the process of problem solving. Finally, this study contributes in efficient analysis of meta-affect in problem solving and educational implications of meta-affect in teaching and learning in problem solving.

수학 문제해결에서의 메타정의에 대한 연구 관심은 인지-메타인지의 구조에 착안하여 정의적 요소 간에 유사한 구조 설정의 시도로부터 출발하였으나 메타인지에 대한 연구와 비교할 때 아직 연구의 명료성이나 통일성 또는 체계성 면에서 개선이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 수학 문제해결 과정에 작용하는 일련의 인지적, 정의적 요소의 연쇄 유형 중에 정의적 요소를 포함하는 경우로써 '메타정의'의 개념을 규정하여 수학 문제해결 과정에 나타날 수 있는 실제적인 메타정의의 각 경우를 논리적으로 유형화하였다. 이를 준거로 초등학생의 실제 수학 문제해결 과정에서 메타정의의 각 유형에 해당하는 실제 예를 관찰, 분석하였다. 이를 통해서 수학문제해결 과정에서 메타정의의 작동 메커니즘, 즉 메타정의의 각 유형별로 구체적 작동 원리와 특히 문제해결 과정에 생산적으로 작동하는 메타적 기능의 특성을 추출하였다. 이는 문제해결에서의 메타정의 분석 방법론의 효율성 제고와 수학 문제해결 교수-학습에서의 메타정의가 함의하는 교육적 시사점 제공이란 면에서 기여한다.
